Horton defeats Parker in US House primary

SOUTHEASTERN N.C. — Kure Beach physician Dr. Kyle Horton was chosen by a wide margin over Goldsboro businessman Grayson Parker to be the Democratic nominee to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. David Rouzer, R-N.C.

“I am really excited that we have created the kind of momentum on the grass-roots level and created this groundswell as we head into November,” Horton said while watching returns that showed her with a nearly 6-to-1 vote advantage over Parker.
